Best science

I have got nothing for lunch. And I am hungry. Although hunger sharpens my sense, making me edgy, and nervous with energy, ready to pounce. And I crouch on my chair, sitting on my heels, making skittish eye movements as I tap away on my laptop.

And that's when I do my best science.

Reclaiming the space

So, it's been a month since I last threw a post up here. There's been quite a few kilometers in the water, finished a book or two, seen a few flicks. Let's cover a few things of interest here...

Finished Tom Robbin's Villa Incognito.


Quite a good read, contains a lovely summary of the beauty of mayonnaise.

And saw a great flick called Nothing, directed by the guy who did Cube. Had an interesting take on many things. I particularly enjoyed a scene where the protagonists were able to eliminate thoughts and memories, like anger. It reminded me of those who have a sweet spot for chemical "blindfolds", who enjoy the sensation of clearing the mind of everything except the now. The pleasant now. Ignoring the yucky bits in life.
